Description
Book Synopsis''Bellamy makes gardening seem simple, expressive and joyful. Anyone can do it.'' - Evening Standard
Jam-red poppies, giant umbels of yellow-flowered fennel, inky blue Agastache, Euphorbia in inchworm green . . . imagine a small garden steeped in colour, where ground-hugging bumps of Teucrium and thyme are dotted with tall, diaphanous flowers; salvia, eryngium and single-flowered dahlias in saturated colours.
The way we use colour in our outside spaces is changing. Colour-themed borders with planting strictly planned around the colour wheel, and seasonal colour highlights maintained to be kept ''just so'' have been replaced by changeable, textural planting using plants with different hefts and heights so that colour shifts throughout the seasons.
Featuring inspirational real gardens, plant lists, a year-round planner and plenty of ideas for using colour inventively in containers, this book shares a new approach for using colour in small outdoor spaces.
